NY has had similar oddball things in their past, but has got MOST of them straightened out. The typical reason for rifles not being allowed is because of their extended range and the possibility of ricochets, misses or overpenetration causing problems. Typically shotguns and pistols have a shorter range due to their using larger projectiles at lower velocities. A pistol that shoots a rifle cartridge can turn that on its head, as can a rifle that shoots a pistol cartridge. The T/C Contender, Savage Striker, and Remington XP-100 are all pistols that shoot rifle cartridges--in the case of the Contender, often very powerful rifle cartridges--but in NY they're all legal in shotgun-only zones as, presumably, they're not all that common and they are still only typically used at fairly short ranges and for reasonably "sure" shots. I've never heard of a case in NY of this causing a problem, though the potential is there. On the flip side, there are plenty of rifles that shoot pistol cartridges, typically the .357 magnum, .44 magnum, and .45 Long Colt. The theory there is that the longer barrel increases velocity enough to make these cartridges a threat to ricochet or overpenetrate. Again, it may or may not be the case, but you've got to draw the line somewhere.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
